Well done Warriors! Who gives a **** if it is Un-Anglo Australian!
RSL denounces 'un-Australian' flag burning
The Queensland President of the RSL says he will be writing to politicians to urge them to make it a criminal offence to deface the Australian flag.
Police say a group of Indigenous people burned the flag at an 'invasion day' ceremony in inner Brisbane today.
Bill Mason says the act is un-Australian and the law needs to change.
"Well I'll certainly be writing to our own State Parliament and the opposition parties to get a bipartisan or partisan agreement and if we can't get it done federally, get it into Queensland anyway to make it an offence to deface, destroy national symbols," he said.
"I think it's absolutely disgusting and unfortunately it's not punishable by law as an offence on its own, it may fall into some other category but it's unfortunate." |
